Watership Down by Richard Adams

The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway is a cool quick read if you're spending a couple of hours on the toilet.

White Noise by Don Delillo is a neat little mind bender.

Drawing Blood or Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite.

It's very sensual reading, without being unbearably wordy and descriptive. You breathe in the rot of the swamps and corpses while she drives you outside new orleans.

hemingway's a moveable feast. will make you wanna travel (in time! to paris!)

william gibson's now-tired neuromancer. a xx century classic. if you haven't get started on him & work your way up the chronological chain. highly amusing, highly uneven too, but yeah.

alan dugan's new and complete poems. he's awesome and little known. well he's dead now.

bonus points for susan sontag's at the same time: essays and speeches. really a random assortment of various pieces but it was her last book and she was utterly and completely lovely in that super-smart-women-make-my-heart-beat-faster way.

and i'd recommend nietzsche's beyond good and evil, but it could cause serious convulsions and the coughing of brown phlegms-- you might never recover. he'll seriously kick you in the face.
